Art & Schools: Inspiring Creativity, Empowering Young Minds

At Yulia Bays Foundation, we believe that art has the power to transform lives. Our mission is to bring creativity into schools and communities, ensuring that every child in Zanzibar has the opportunity to express themselves, develop confidence, and explore their artistic potential.

🎨 Our Vision: An Art School & Art Center in Zanzibar

We are committed to establishing a dedicated Art School and Art Center in Zanzibar—a creative sanctuary where young minds can learn, experiment, and grow through art.

🌍 Why This Matters:

  • Many schools lack structured art programs, limiting children's ability to explore creative skills.

  • Art is not just a hobby—it’s a tool for self-expression, problem-solving, and personal development.

  • A dedicated space will nurture young talent, provide professional training, and connect local artists with global opportunities.

🏛️ The Art School: Cultivating the Next Generation of Artists

The Art School will provide structured art education for students of all ages, with:
✅ Workshops in painting, sculpture, and digital art
✅ Classes led by local and international artists
✅ Scholarships for talented children from underserved communities
✅ Exhibitions to showcase student work

🎭 The Art Center: A Creative Hub for the Community

The Art Center will be a multifunctional creative space where local and international artists can come together, featuring:
✅ Exhibitions, artist residencies, and cultural exchange programs
✅ A creative library with books, art materials, and digital resources
✅ Public events, film screenings, and art therapy sessions

🌱 How You Can Support This Vision
